smbt (Save MacOS Browser Tabs)

A script written in Applescript to save links and titles of all the tabs open in your browser.
Currently, only Google Chrome and Safari are supported in this script.

Requirements

• Requires osascript in your MacOS to run the script

Usage

• First clone this repo and after entering into it.

• Open the script by double clcking on the file, provide the path to save your links in line where it's written

  • property safariPath : [PROVIDE_THE_PATH_HERE_FOR_SAFARI_TABS]
  • property chromePath : [PROVIDE_THE_PATH_HERE_FOR_CHROME_TABS]
    Note: Path should be absolute and separated by colons instead of slash, also ending with a colon. for ex. - if the path is "/Users/vaithak/Desktop" -> you should write "Users:vaithak:Desktop:".
